Church of St Michael, Church Street, Croston, Croston - Chorley

C16 church composed of five bay nave, north and south side aisles, four stage tower and chancel. The roofscape was modified in 1823 to facilitate a single pitched roof covering both the nave and side aisles. Floor and roof repairs, with funding support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund's Grants for Places of Worship scheme. All work was completed by Christmas 2017. Roof covering has now deteriorated further with delaminating stone slates and issues with leadwork causing vulnerability of the structure due to potential for water ingress
